"For this fellow, he owes us nothing," Appleby said. "We'll only have a race plan as to how he will tell us the race plan realistically. We'd like to take him back to Dubai and look back towards working back from the Sheema Classic. It's a race obviously he's won, but a race that's close to our heart. A huge night for us. To have a horse turning up like him, an international star, he draws all the attention. Maybe rightfully so."
As for a return trip for an attempted third Breeders' Cup Turf win, Appleby said anything was on the table.
"You never know with this boy," the trainer said with a smile.
